Zoo'd: 6th Graders vs. Primates! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615730585)

Lisa and Gina Nardini are sisters who were born on an island called Okinawa, but spent most of their childhood in the Ozarks. They have four older brothers and one younger sister. Big Family! Lisa was always an avid reader. She chose a reading class as an elective over art in middle school. (Don't tell Gina!) Her favorite books growing up were: "The Wolves of Willoughby Chase" by Joan Aiken, "Where The Red Fern Grows" by Wilson Rawls and all the books by Norma Klein and Judy Blume. Lisa lives in a small coastal town in Florida and enjoys kayaking in the Everglades. When Lisa is not writing, she is a flight attendant traveling all over the globe. So be sure to look for her on your next flight! Gina likes to read, write and draw. In fact, she created the cover and all the illustrations for "The Underwear Dare", using her married name, Gina Christoffel. As a child, her favorite books were: "Where The Red Fern Grows" and "The Summer of The Monkeys" by Wilson Rawls and all the books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. She loves dogs, especially beagles. When Gina is not writing, she is teaching visual arts at an elementary school. She lives in a small town in the heart of North Carolina. Although the two sisters live in different states, they still make time to write together. While growing up in the Ozarks, they shared a bedroom. According to Gina, Lisa got all the good wall space and shelves! "The Underwear Dare" is their first novel. "Zoo'd", is the second, which features the same cast of characters from "The Underwear Dare", as they venture into sixth grade. Visit their website: www.nardinisisters.com
